American Military Could Owe Royalties for Music Used as Torture Device Shane McGlaun (Blog) - July 29, 2008 1:30 PM
The Barney Theme Song is one of the tracks on the supposed torture play list
Most people can think of a few songs that simply drive them crazy. The U.S. military is reported to use music as a method of torture against prisoners in the Guantánamo Bay prison. The point of the music, according to the Guardian, is to induce sleep deprivation and drown out screams.
The Guardian has also posted a list of songs it says are used by the U.S. military as torture devices. The list includes songs like Enter Sandman by Metallica, Bodies by Drowning Pool, White America by Eminem, and the Barney Theme Song.
One song is specifically singled out by the Guardian as being used in the so called "torture playlist."

What??? No “It’s A Small World After All”????
LOL, the “Meow Mix” commerical theme is on the torture list. That and Barney would drive me nuts in short order.
Ever have one of those days where you just can’t get the Smurf song out of your head????
Actually that is a good question. Why don’t taxpayers get to share in the enormous profits Barney’s owners have accrued by running their little show on TAX PAYER SPONSORED PBS?
I can’t believe you did not include “It’s a Small World” in that list!......................
If the RIAA sues over this....you know the RIAA is pretty much a dead horse. Suing over music royalties used to get terrorists to talk, thats nuts
Barry Manilow ... Bucks Up!
I'll talk, baby. I'll talk.
I’m particular to...
“Welcome To The Jungle” Guns-N-Roses
“Bark At The Moon” Ozzie Osborne
“Highway Storm” Deep Purple
“You Got Another Thing Coming” Judas Priest
It’s a Small World After All makes me weak kneed.
Oh...it IS,it IS!!!
Hughly series!! LOLOL
What happened to the Christina Aguilera Tapes?
Barney's pushing it, though. I probably would've squealed.
Shane McGlaun you need to pay for the excess CO2 you are releasing out of your a**.
This could just work. If they put me in a room and played the Barney Song I’d admit selling our nuclear secrets to the Reds. It was me, not the Rosenbergs! I confess! Even though I wasn’t born back then! Just make it stop!
Fine... Just play some of Weird Al Yankovic’s polka music. He’s a cool guy.
That’s like saying all the music you listen to on AM or FM radio you have to pay for.
How about.....
Rock Me Amadeus
This just shows the level of “patriotism” that exists in the entertainment industry.
